The list goes as follows:

*=Skip-able due to lack of activity

NO LONGER ACCEPTING NEW MEMBERS AS OF 1:20:00AM SEPTEMBER 18th, 2013. THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST. 
(exceptions are those who showed interest in the rp before this date and who I accepted beforehand.)

For anyone who hasn't already done so, please name a pet after your character (if possible) and post your character's application on their pet page. Then link their petpage in your signature through use of the stamp I made
Or an otherwise obvious picture/link.

So I like the game, and I'm too lazy to come up with a universe to rp in for now, so Skyrim it is. Note that we aren't exploring all of Tamriel or anything, since I just know about Skyrim... so yup, staying with the nords.

Since this is Skyrim, you can use a character you have from the game, or whatever you want really as long as it falls in the realms of what is possible there. So no you cannot be a dragonshifterkingofwhatever because that makes no sense and it would never happen.

As many or as few people can join, though I'd prefer if we were all in the same place for the most part, but we don't have to be of the same factions or anything. Meh, let's just see how this pans out.

Plot Idea(s):
Feel free to suggest stuff, this is supposed to be at least somewhat open ended.
-An old faction/person in Skyrim that wants to destroy all other factions from the inside.
-The Dragons disappear and their corpses are appearing everywhere instead.
-An army of the undead rises from the crypts, making their way to all of Skyrim's capitals.
-No dragonborn at all.
-Dragonborn missing during chaos.

Rules of Joiningness:

1. No godmodding
2. Don't complain about others' posts unless they're obscenely wrong (ie many spelling errors, bad grammar, hard to understand, way off-topic)
3. Make any unrelated/non rp comments in some sort of bracket or parenthesis so others can tell.
4. Don't put others down
5. Play nice
6. Characters won't die unless their maker wants them to (ie to make a new character you can kill your old one)
7. Don't overuse monster encounters (no constant fighting)
8. This is PG-13, so no naked, super gorey or inappropriate remarks, comments or events.
9. I will make more rules as I see fit, I haven't rp'd here in a while.

Notes of Joiningness:

These aren't quite rules, more of pointers and stuff.
-If you have kids/spouse you can RP as them as well, just not as your main (They  don't require extra forms just mention them in your main for the character they relate to)
-Feel free to add in new characters as the story allows
-You can control NPCs if the situation requires (ie guards chase you, Jarl sentences you, something something)

Form of Joiningness:

Name- (first and last or just first)
Alias- (Nicknames, titles ect)
Age- (I would like older than 15 at least)
Gender- (either or, or both idk what)
Race- (Any of the playable races in Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim)
Appearance- (Make one ingame or use art YOU COMMISSIONED or YOU DREW, never use someone else's art EVEN for RPS without their permission and NEVER claim as yours. Deions also work)
Personality/History- (You know what this is)
Faction(s)- (Companions, Dark Brotherhood, Stormcloaks, you can be aligned with more than one as long as they aren't against each other)
Marital Status- (Single, Married, Dating, whatever)
Family- (Whatever you have)
Morals/Values- (What do they care about)
Divine/Daedric Alignment- (You don't need one, but in case you align your character with a certain Daedric Prince or one of the Divines)
Weapons- (What kind, you don't have to give specific names)
Armor- (Same as above)
Skills- (What do you specialize in ie archery, heavy armor, smithing. Can be as many as you like as long as it's not obscene)
Talents- (Which skills do you excel in)
Extra- (In case this form doesn't cover something important)

AD:
Hey to you people you like to Write/RP, and are of course, Skyrim Fans~ [url=http://tinyurl.com/mnypygx] RP for you!

Name- Dagra Norn (previously Belen Varketh)
Alias- The Shadow Thief, Dagra the Blessed, Lady of Misery
Age- 31
Gender- Female
Race- Imperial
Appearance- (getting a picture eventually)
Personality/History- 
Dagra is aloof and somewhat terrifying, she was at one point a prominent member of the Dark Brotherhood and the Thieves Guild, acting as a reliable go-between before disappearing into the shadows. It is rumored that she now does odd-jobs in Solitude, ranging from petty thievery to hits. She has also been seen with her son and daughter, sneaking about the city at night. Originally she was brought to Skyrim as a soldier in the Imperial Army at the age of 20, however she defected shortly after arrival because she fell in love with a Nord. They got married and lived together in Riften for 4 years. When the Civil War broke out, her husband went to fight the war on the side of the Stormcloaks, believing that the Imperials would force Dagra (then Belen) to fight for them. He was killed before he could even get on the battlefield, by falling off his horse during a raid, trampled to death. 
It was after learning of his death that Dagra changed her name, and fled to the underground, finding refuge in two of Skyrim's most notorious organizations, the Dark Brotherhood and the Thieves Guild. She rose quickly through the ranks in both, gaining the trust of the leaders Astrid and Gallus, and becoming known as The Shadow Thief, because it was believed she could steal anything under cover of night.
No one is quite sure as to when or why Dagra left, some believe it was because she adopted her children, and some believe she finally got caught and she didn't want anyone to know. Whatever the reason she managed to leave just before the Thieves Guild turned decrepit and the Dark Brotherhood lost its luster, so she is also referred to as Dagra the Blessed.
The one thing Dagra left behind after she disappeared was a note. It had Daedric lettering on it and was written in blood, with the only word legible by anyone she knew being the word, "Misery". 
Dagra Norn was born as Belen, a girl with no family in Cyrodiil, no one is quite sure who her parents were, but she was abandoned in the heart of the city, left to raise herself. All she had was a strange black soul gem tied around her neck, and her name which had been carved into it. As a child she had a dark aura that drove people away from her, which is why she was never adopted, instead living off of garbage and what little wild plants she could find, resorting to stealing food from animals and later killing the animals. If she needed to make money she would con people, becoming skilled at slight-of-hand tricks. She lived in Bravil, and that was where she supposedly learned how to do what she does best. Dagra learned how to pickpocket and lockpick at the age of 5, and she was barely 11 when she killed someone for the first time. Dagra knew she was destined for somewhere greater than the dirt and drug of Bravil, so she took it upon herself to travel to the heartland, Imperial City. It was while she was walking down the road when she was attacked by a bandit who attempted to steal what little she had. In a panic, she pulled a dagger she'd lifted off of a gambler, and stabbed him in the chest. What she hadn't realized was that the dagger was enchanted, and once it made contact and buried itself in his chest, it burned through his body, throwing her back. His soul left his body and was pulled into the soul gem Dagra wore around her neck. It was then that she realized another name had carved itself into the soul gem, the man's name, "Tiber".
It turns out that the gem can absorb multiple human souls, and the name of each victim would be carved into it. From then on, Dagra decided she would find the one who's name had been Belen, to find out who they were, and who she was supposed to be. She ended up in Imperial City, and joined the army to serve in Skyrim.
Despite the fact that she wears a soul gem around her neck and wields a dagger that traps souls, Dagra actually has quite the impressive aversion to magic, almost like a phobia, as she has the uncontrollable onset of sickness whenever in the presence of magic. She doesn't know why this is, but she feels as if the answer lies in her past, maybe even before she was born. Whatever the reason, Dagra keeps her distance from anyone or anything magically inclined.
Faction(s)- 
Previously Imperials, Dark Brotherhood and Thieves Guild
Currently Whoever pays her
Marital Status- Widow
Family- 
Khajiit Son: Bravi
10 years of age, he resembles a tiger with a slight build and solemn ex
pression. He was orphaned at the age of 4 when his parents were killed by drunken Nords outside of Hjaalmarch, who had believed his parents had swindled them. He was then taken by the Nords who treated him as a slave, absuing him, treating him as an animal. One day he fought back and managed to escape by the skin of his teeth, fleeing into the wilds. Dagra found him half frozen to death in a snowbank near Dawnstar, collapsed not far from the road. She brought him to an inn, and put him to bed, where he slept for 4 days, falling in and out of consciousness. When he awoke he immediately prepared to attack her while she slept at his bedside, but he was taken aback by the fact that he was in a bed, warm, and she wasn't hurting him. From there Dagra had to teach him that not all no-Khajiit were bad, and she had to rebuild his trust in others. Dagra decided that he was in need of a family, and so she brought him back to Solitude where she introduced him to Korra. Dagra then brought him an almost every operation she could, teaching him through experience, showing him what she does. He has been with her 2 years since, and while he has become more open, the only ones he truly trusts are Dagra and his adopted sister, Korra. He's tall for his age, about as tall as Korra, and he fights with light weapons, using a sword and a shield usually as he finds he can roll attacks off of the shield and counter more easily than striking hard or only striking fast alone.
Argonian Daughter: Korra
14 years of age, she's of a little more muscled build than her brother. She has black and off-black scales with feathering on her head, curved horns, and eyes with slits, though her right eye is blind. She was born to a pair of Argonians who dealt in thievery, they were small fish at best, only able to do easy pickpocket or lock jobs, but they wanted to pull off a true heist. They decided to sneak into the Black Briar Meadery to steal Maven's recipe, and that was the last anyone saw of either of them. Rumor has it Maven had them killed before they could even see the recipe, and their bodies were dumped in the Ratway to be destroyed by skeevers. Korra had been a bit of a problem child, and her parents had never paid her much attention because of their ambitions. Yet when her parents didn't return for weeks, she began to worry and caught wind of the rumor about their deaths, which lead her to the Ratway. She ran into Brynjolf before she could get to the Winking Skeever, and he realized her potential and decided to train her apart from the guild, as his own secret agent. For 5 years she worked with him believing she was his equal, until a plan went awry and she was caught stealing from a noble. She was sentenced to death and thrown in prison, thinking that Brynjolf would save her, however when he never came, she began to panic and question everything she ever knew. That was when she met Dagra, who had gone to the prison to interrogate a Thieves Guild traitor. Korra caught her eye, and Dagra asked the guards what she had done and what her sentence was. When she heard about Korra's parents, and her failed thievery attempt, she decided to bribe the guards, who released her under Dagra's care. Ever since, Korra has been following Dagra, learning from her, and hoping to find out what really happened to her parents. She is very protective of her younger brother, who became part of the family not long after her, and claims that she doesn't fully trust Dagra, which Dagra in turn accepts. Korra focuses on using power over wit, wielding a battle axe, which matches her hot-headed and straight-forward nature.
Morals/Values- She cares about Bravi and Korra, as well as the life they've built together. She misses her husband, and sometimes dreams about him when something is going to happen, believing that he is her guardian angel. Dagra doesn't think thievery and murder are wrong, just business, and she will do anything to keep her family safe.
Daedric Alignment- Dagra once served Nocturnal rather faithfully, but distanced herself around when she left the Thieves Guild. She had never liked the Night Mother while she was part of the Dark Brotherhood, as although Dagra has few morals, she absolutely despises the undead.
Weapons- One handed swords, daggers and bows
Armor- Light armor
Skills- Sneaking, lockpicking, speechcraft, alchemy and daggers
Talents- Speechcraft and sneaking
Extra- Nothing much.

Name- Sirica Briarheart

Alias- Siri, Briar

Age- 29

Gender- Female

Race- Kajiit

Appearance-

((I'm drawing her and her two kids. Give me a day))


Personality/History-
 A true nightingale at heart, she operates in the shadows, stealing
anything and everything she can get her hands on. She is very skittish,
much like a normal cat and tends to keep away from major cities, unless
she has a job. Never working with others, except guild members from time
 to time, she sticks to camping in the woods and has gotten very good at
 hunting and bandit killing. Her heart is stone cold and because she was
 one with the forsworn, the space above her heart is open, but sewn
together. It never bleeds, but staring at it tends to be a bit creepy.
This is the other reason she doesn't often spend time with other people.


When
 she was 16, she left the forsworn, after having been born there to a
kajiit mother and a Breton father, making her half Breton. Normally, the
 forsworn don't take outsiders, but the leader of this particular group
was great friends with her parents and let them into the clan.
Unfortunately, what they did made Siri uncomfortable. She never meant to
 become a briarheart because there were no female briarhearts and she
had never been terribly good at magic. The forsworn leader had other
plans for her. Believing that her heart was causing her to have too much
 emotion, he drugged her and took her to Broken Tower Redoubt where
hagravens ripped her heart from her chest and replaced it with a
briarheart. This she became the only female to have ever gone through
the process. Unfortunately, she still left. Her parents ended up being
killed when they went to another forsworn camp. They weren't wearing the
 traditional garb and  were therefore shot dead on the spot.


She
wanted to leave Skyrim altogether and escaped to Cyrodel, where she
joined the imperial army. When she went to deliver a message to General
Tulius in Skyrim, she was ambushed by imperial soldiers. Because she was
 wearing stormcloak gear to sneak past the camp, they sent her to be
executed. Luckily, General Tulius found the note in her pocket and ended
 up setting her free. However, while she was waiting for a cart to bring
 her to Solitude from the execution place, a dragon attacked. Siri just
barely escaped with her life. Since then, she has been traveling around
Skyrim with her trusty companion Aela and her dog. She has two children
living in her manor she got from being Thane of Falkreach. A lot of her
time is spent discovering forsworn camps and slaughtering them all, as
well as helping spy on the Stormcloaks. When she joined the Companions a
 few years after she started living in Whiterun, she eventually made it
to Harbringer, but gave up her werewolf ways when Serana offered her the chance to be a vampire.


Faction(s)- Companions, Dark Brotherhood, Imperials, Thieves Guild, and the Dawnguard

Marital Status- Married to Serana

Family-

Mak'at-Female Kajiit

At
 10 years of age, most would guess she was 5. She is petite and very
small, but she is the biological daughter of Sirica. Nobody truly knows
who her father is, but most assume that he was a soldier in the imperial
 army.

Aurora-Female Imperial

She is 17 years old and very
mature for her age. She is very protective of her younger sister, even
though the relationship is not biological. She is a bit chubby, but she
is also very tall, so a lot of the weight is unnoticeable. She was the
daughter of two imperials who lived ion Solitude. they abused her and
made her do everything. The Dark Brotherhood, specifically Sirica, took
care of them. When Sirica had finished them off, she found 12 year old
Aurora staring at her. Aurora didn't seem phased by the deaths, instead,
 she hugged Sirica and she asked if Siri could adopt her. Saying yes,
she immediately moved in with Siri.


Morals/Values-
Being aligned with the noble Companions as well as the thieving gutter
rats in the thieves guild is hard. However, she makes it work. She never
 steals from anybody who doesn't deserve it and if someone has only a
few coins to their name, she will leave them alone. Same with her
alignment with the DB. She will not kill anybody who doesn't deserve it.
 She isn't afraid to say no to Astrid and she has the best guards for
her children, so she doesn't worry about them.


Daedric Alignment- Nocturnal

Weapons- Auriel's Bow with Sunhallowed arrows (307) and duel conjured swords

Armor- Nightingale Armour

Skills-
 Sneak (75), Pickpocketing (100), Archery (70), Smithing (100),
Enchanting (30), Lockpicking (68), Light Armour (67), One-Handed (74)

Talents-
 Sneak, Pickpocketing, Smithing, and Archery. She is also very good at
backstabbing with bows. She tends to enjoy finding something to hide
behind and then shooting an arrow into someone's back

Extra- She is bisexual and is the Dragonborn, but having killed no dragons, she doesn't know it yet


((I just put the dragonborn thing down just in case. I can make it not op, don't worry. I rarely use shouts unless necessary anyway, since they are way to loud for thievery XD))
